Step 1 - Sell the House; Step 2 - Moving Day...

We've had a crazy month and a half of selling our house, moving, vacation and buying a house...so I've been slacking on my blog and now trying to play catch up! We're still in the midst of the busyness...so I'll do my best!

After about a year of "sitting" on the decision and lots of prayer for guidance...we made the decision to move North. A new adventure! So....

Step 1 - Sell the House: Check!

We did it! Despite the recent downturn in the housing market, gloomy reminders and prospects from the media, a few blank stares accompanying the question... "in this market?"...we did it. We sold the house.

I think it was the most exhausting thing we've ever done. It's hard to get used to the idea of living 2 hours away from those we so dearly love in Columbus, and to leave the city where we met, fell in love and started our family. And constantly preparing for showings with a 3 year old and 1 year old...not the easiest thing in the world as they're absolute experts at quick mess making!! But in our hearts it was (is) the right decision for us. So Doug and I worked together to get through a busy, crazy 3 months!! Our time in Columbus has been so incredibly blessed...beyond our wildest expectations and what we've ever deserved. But we couldn't be more excited about our new adventure.

Step 2 - Moving Day: Check!

To eliminate the stress of moving in one weekend...we made the decision to divide our "moving day" into 2 moving days over two weekends. Here are a few shots. We are SO thankful for all of our super friends and family that helped us out with the stuff, the packing and the girls on those days. Without them...it would not have gone as smoothly. Here are a few pics...the girls loved the big yellow trucks!

Progress on next steps coming....:-)
